The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) announced record tax collections of Sh2.844 trillion for the financial year ending June, driven by strong performance in the manufacturing and energy sectors. Despite surpassing last year's collections by 10.6 percent, the KRA narrowly missed the Treasury's target.

• Top taxpayers identified include the manufacturing (contributing Sh462 billion) and energy (contributing Sh445 billion) sectors.
• The KRA, led by Commissioner-General Adan Mohamed, collected Sh276.14 billion in agency revenue, exceeding its target by 99.1 percent.
• Customs revenue exceeded expectations, collecting Sh988.78 billion against a target of Sh980.79 billion.

The Sacco Societies (Amendment) Bill, 2025, is currently under consideration in the National Assembly, aiming to strengthen the regulatory framework for Saccos and protect members' savings.

• A key provision is the operationalization of the Deposit Guarantee Fund, which would allow members to claim protected deposits if a Sacco's license is revoked.
• The proposed compensation limit for members remains at Sh100,000, a figure that has drawn criticism from some MPs concerned about members with larger savings.
• SASRA CEO David Sandagi defended the Bill, citing the need to improve transparency, supervision, and reduce technology costs for smaller Saccos, with about 92% of deposit accounts holding Sh100,000 or less.
• The Bill also seeks to address challenges like unregulated entities, pyramid schemes, and the investment of deposits in high-risk ventures.

• In Nairobi, apartment prices in high-end estates fell by 4.8%, and by 3.3% in middle-income areas.
